Using Calendars

Reading a calendar

Reading a calendar

  • A calendar shows the dates in a month

    • The days of the week are shown across the top

    • Each box shows one date

  • Dates go from left to right

  • When a row is full, the dates continue on the next row

Example

Example

  • What day of the week is the 17th of June?

    • Look for the number 17 and see which column it is in

    • The 1717th of June is a Wednesday

Counting forwards and backwards

Counting forwards and backwards

  • Do not count the starting date as the first day

  • From the 10$$th to the $$15$$th is $$5 days

    • So 5$$ days after the $$10$$th is the $$15th
